Heritage Foundation Leadership for America

CONSERVATIVE WOMEN'S NETWORK

Contact: Bridgett Wagner

The Conservative Womens Network (CWN), a monthly meeting hosted at The Heritage Foundation with the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute, offers a unique opportunity for women to meet and exchange ideas and perspectives on a variety of conservative issues. It emphasizes issues and policies of concern to women without promoting a women-only agenda. The CWN fosters a sense of community among policy analysts, stay-at-home mothers, students, organization presidents and government officials through mentoring and networking, and encourages active participation in todays issue debates.

Past meetings have featured businesswomen, female members of Congress, economists, authors, public policy analysts, and nonprofit leaders. Topics have included the delicate balance between work and family, welfare reform, rewriting a résumé, how government regulations affect families, lessons learned in Washington from an elected officials point of view, and communications strategies for achieving good public policies.
